Carpe Diem... Michigan...

NASCAR ~ Carl came in 23rd. Sigh. Next week it will be on ABC, so I'll be able to watch it. Yay! Go Carl!

The rough draft of Tarnished Knight is done, and it's time to do the rewrite. Actually, I tend to edit as I go along. It's time to type it into the format required by my publisher. I create in one font, and then the format is in another font. It allows me to look at them differently. Yes, that simple visual difference matters.

A bit of reading for breaks.

In my follow up session, yesterday, I was discouraged to see I'd gained weight, though I'd been endeavoring to make healthier choices. Back to the drawing board. Bah.

Today's Prayer

Dear God, I live in perilous and uncertain times, but I know You are in control. You have a plan; help me to stay out of Your way. It matters not what happens to me, but what I make of what happens to me makes all the difference in the world. Help me to be faithful, courageous, and honorable. Help me to be a blessing. Bless our troops. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I stand with God, Israel, my Catholic friends, Coptic Christians, and those being persecuted for their faith.
